Unable to change directory to cd: /Downloads error message No such file or directory

I am unable to change my directory to /home/username/Downloads. I keep getting the error message no such file or directory. What could I possibly be doing wrong as I've tried everything.


~ is an abbreviation for your own user's home directory, and you can also use either cd by itself or cd ~ to navigate to your home directory.

To change directories to your Downloads directory open the terminal and type:

cd ~/Downloads
